About the Book

The extraordinary diaries of the celebrated mountaineer These are George Mallory's collected writings on his mountaineering, and his motivations.

His writing reveals the emotional life of the mountaineer. With eloquence, Mallory captures the struggles and the rewards involved, the climber's sense of triumph, and experiences of staggering beauty. This collection also includes a contribution and summing up from Peter Gillman, the author of"Everest: Eighty Years of Triumph" and "Tragedy and The Wildest Dream: The Biography of George Mallory."
